can't decompose ghc.exe path

$ ghc.exe
ghc.exe: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)
  (GHC version 7.8.3 for x86_64-unknown-mingw32):
        can't decompose ghc.exe path: "C:\\Users\\erisco\\haskell-platform-bin\\ghc.exe"

haskell-platform-bin is a symbolic directory link to "C:\Program Files\Haskell Platform\2014.2.0.0\bin". I did this so there would not be spaces in the path because this is causing other issues for me.
